Hi Anonymous Monk,
Has previously mentioned, it is a lot better to use modules like File::Find or File::Find::Rule and the likes to do what you wanted, than "re-invent", while there is no improvement to it. However, if you must do that with opendir then something like this can help:
use warnings;
use strict;
scandir( $ARGV[0] ); ## where to look from CLI
sub scandir {
my ($file) = @_;
if ( -d $file ) {
print $file,$/; ## print directory name
opendir my $dh, $file or die "can't open directory: $!";
while ( readdir($dh) ) {
chomp;
next if $_ eq '.' or $_ eq '..';
print "\t", $_, $/ if /\.pl$/; ## print *.pl files
scandir("$file/$_"); ## check sub-directory...
}
}
}
Moreover, this has been done in perlmonks, times and again, so search is your friend. Please use it. Hope this helps.
If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
